When you can offer a service, skill, or product that looks different to what everyone else is offering, you become more visible and your chances of securing a job or business deal will increase.
If you want to be successful in life, look for education that allows you to pursue:
- A capacity to attack problems from various angles (lateral thinking).
- Dfferent subjects to what everyone else is doing.
- Different ways of study (e.g. online, classroom, problem based, competency based).
Courses that offer you more opportunity to choose (or "design") what you will study, are offering you more opportunity to differentiate your training (and ultimately your mix of skills) from everyone else.
The links from this page will provide information, ideas and opportunities for designing your own education, with a view to engineering a unique mix of knowledge and skills that will help to make you stand out from the crowd.
